Some
people advocate an idea that the Western democracies must liberate Islam from
Islamist ideology. They say that Liberty and Islam
cannot coexist. Free Speech and Islam cannot coexist. Women's Rights and Islam
cannot coexist. Human Rights and Islam cannot coexist. Critical Thinking and
Islam cannot coexist. Weapons of Mass Destruction and Islam cannot coexist. The
future and Islam cannot coexist

I say that
it will not work and we must liberate the West from
Islam fist!

One
would like to think that reforming Islam is possible but that attempt itself
has gotten many Muslims killed throughout history. Any true Muslim reformer
worth his salt will be anti-Jihad anyway - but not now! Unfortunately, most
Muslim governments, organizations and communities are silently support violent invasion
of Jihadism to the West!

It's
difficult to imagine Islam without jihad. It must be made clear that living in
the west entails separation of church and state. It's up to them to deal with
it in any way they like or return to their ‘Islamist’ heaven!

TREABUTE: Iconic Jewish comedian, actor and author Gene Wilder has

emigrant father and a mother of Polish descent, both Jewish.

of our time. He blessed every film we did with his magic & he blessed me
with his friendship.” @MelBrooks

Food for
Thoughtby Steven Shamrak

Quite
often I see postings: "ISRAEL HAS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF". I am
sure they are made with good intentions. But could people stop stating the
obvious? All countries have this right! Why single out Israel? I understand
"passion for this", but we need to stop apologizing for our
existence! And assume our rightful role - defeat the enemies of Israel, remove
occupiers of Jewish land from Eretz-Israel and show 'the finger' to all
anti-Semite. Only then will others stop questioning the legitimacy of the
Jewish state!

Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Education Minister Naftali Bennett announced
plans to begin instilling Zionist values in a more effective manner throughout
the school curriculum. “Our goal is to revolutionize education. This revolution
will be based on two things - excellence and Zionism,” declared Prime Minister
Netanyahu. (It is long overdue!)

Despite
the start of the holy Islamic Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Arab terrorists
continue their relentless attacks on Israeli drivers. Arab terrorists are
continuing their campaign of hate with scattered attacks attempting to frighten
Jewish residents out of living in their communities among the hills of Judea
and Samaria. (Where is the IDF? Why are Jews not
allowed to defend themselves?)

US slams
Israel for settlement acceleration in the West Bank. An Israeli military
planning committee approved 463 housing units in Judea, Samaria and East
Jerusalem. "This significant expansion of the settlement activity poses a
serious and growing threat to the viability of a two-state solution," said
White House spokesman Josh Earnest. (Judea and
Samaria are part of Jewish land, Eretz-Israel. What peace? Two-state solution is
an anti-Semitic international fiction!)

The Turkish military
drive into Syria caught US off guard! When Turkish ground forces
delivered a lightning strike on Islamic State fighters in Syria last week, the
Pentagon hailed what it described as close US-Turkish co-ordination. But behind
the scenes, co-operation between the NATO partners broke down at senior levels.
Turkey decided to clear rival Syrian Kurdish elements out of the conflict zone
first instead of Islamic State. (Action or inaction of Turkish Islamic
government clearly indicate that it is not a friend of the US, NATO or Israel!)

Israeli
District Court ruled that Jews commit a crime when they enter without prior
arrangement with security forces an area where their lives would be in danger
due to Arab violence. (Instead of removing violent, terrorist population Israel’s
self-hating legal system is posing restriction on Jewish movement on Jewish
land!)

In an
effort to 'defend the truth and dignity of the Polish state and the Polish
nation,' ehe Polish government approved a new bill that foresees prison terms
of up to three years for anyone who uses phrases like "Polish death
camps" to refer to Auschwitz and other camps that Nazi Germany operated in
occupied Poland during World War II. (What dignity? Without
eager co-operation and participation of local Polish population and government
Nazis would not be able to commit the Holocaust on such a horrific scale -
Danes, Bulgarians and even Italians proved this!)

Abbas has refused to meet with Netanyahu
until Israel agrees to a total freeze of settlement construction and to the
release of a fourth batch of Palestinian and Israeli Arab prisoners. “Our
relations with everyone must be good, but no one will dictate to us any
position or idea… Therefore, let us think as Palestinians. I will think about
Palestine, not Washington or Moscow” said Abbas. (I wish
the PM of Israel would have as much respect and vision for the future of Jewish
state, as Abbas has arrogance!)

A young resident of Samaria is indicted for
endangering lives on a traffic lane when he shot an air gun at an Arab taxi,
which according to him, veered of its path on the opposite side of the road in
an attempt to ram his vehicle.

Quote of
the Week:

"The
claim, that Jewish construction in Jerusalem is illegal, is as absurd as the
claim that American construction in Washington or French construction in Paris
is illegal. Jews have been in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria (the Jewish biblical
names for the West Bank) for thousands of years and their presence there is not
an obstacle to peace," - a statement made by the
Israel’s prime minister's office.

The
US Aid vs Independence of Israel!

(A FaceBook timeline discussion)

Is $4B a
year enough or too much for the US to pay to protect America's only true ally
in the Middle East? That's the figure Israel is requesting from the US
Administration for our defense and military assistance.

Do the
math with me and figure it out for yourself if that is cheap or expensive. The
US military budget is $600B a year. If you divide that sum by the 36 European
(NATO) and Asian (SEATO) countries that America protects that's $17B in US aid
for each.

Israel
gets only $3.5B right now, and we don't ask for
American soldiers, sailors, or airmen to be stationed here as they are in
Europe and the Far East. Based in these statistics, America gets a pretty cheap
deal with Israel in the front line, and bearing the brunt, of both Islamic
terror and a Muslim region suffering catastrophic bloodshed and destruction
that is looking to extend its reach into Europe and America.

This
is a great deal for the US, since Israel is required to spend most of the money
on US Military equipment. This has the effect of providing more jobs for US
defense contractors. It works for both sides. 4B is a bargain. (It is like a back-door government subsidy to the US
military industry!)

We
should add into the figure of $4 billion the many benefits the US gets from
Israeli medical, scientific, cyber security and agricultural developments and
innovations which Israel shares with them.

The
Obama Administration is being short-sighted in insisting that Israel has to
spend every dime of the agreed sum in America. It is short-sighted because a
deal of the money needs to go to the superior military technology produced in
Israel that, at the end of the day, is ultimately beneficial to the US military
and its industry. Don't forget that we are not only the pilots but the test
pilots using the equipment supplied by the US-Israel defense budget deal.

Israel
needs to wean itself off of US aid. The US gives Israel money to buy US
products. Then, Israel is not free to select the best military systems, only
what the US is willing to sell.

I
remember the "good old days" of that notorious anti-Semite Richard
Nixon who still had Israel's back because he knew it was in the best interests
of the United States to support the only freedom-loving country in the Middle
East. It shouldn't even matter if Obama or any other American President
harbours a hatred for Jews and Israel. It's STILL in America's best interests
to be as closely aligned with Israel as we are with Canada and other countries.

The
US, my country, ought to stop all funding of HAMAS and start giving double or
triple the money to Israel! She will be attacked before we will. Even if she were
not our friend (because she's not this administration's friend), it's in our
national security interest to ensure Israel has everything she needs!

Time
to cut the umbilical cord! Israel must start buying the best French, British,
Chinese or Russian technology. Improve it, as Israel has done with most of American
weaponry, and turf out the enemy ‘squatters’ of Jewish land.
